    I'm more comfortable using a cover as I'm not coordinated enough to not be fully on display when latching him on and off, even if I have the nursing cami under my shirt.

    I used to use a specifically designed cover, but lo went through a loooong phase of hating bfing in public. So I stopped carrying one. Then one day she wanted to again, and all I had was a light infinity scarf, and that worked really well! I use that now

    I have small girls, so usually just free boob it. I'm always on the ready in case she pops off so I can quickly cover up to avoid a nip slip. In tight areas like a plane I'll drape a muslin blanket over a shoulder and use it to shield the onlookers.

    I used a Bebe Au Lait nursing cover all the way.

    I used a muslin blanket when I covered. Next time, I don't think I'll cover. It was a hassle.

    I do the two shirt method. I only cover with a blanket if I'm nursing at a table for a meal with more than my immediate family (which I do often at restaurants so I can eat). I figure it's too hard for the people eating with me to act like there isn't a boob out. No matter how casual they want to seem it just gets awkward without a cover.

    I always use a Bebe or hooter cover

    I use a hooter hider but it's really cumbersome after about 4 months. My son likes to grab the cover and pull it down or stick his arms out or try to eat the thing! I hate it!

    I never cover up. I usually wear a tank underneath a regular shirt so I pull the shirt up and the tank down, so not much is exposed.
